    Ha! The grey version looks like my car =P If your intake came off an 80's El Camino with a V8 then it certainly won't fit if the engine wasn't swapped out for a Buick 350.

    hmm. i didnt know bc it was a gm.

    yes they do look alike. i was about to ask if you snuck and took a pic of it when i wasnt looking =p. nice. i wouldnt mind having a 455 like yours. i watched someone your videos on youtube. nice sounds good. i think they look good in just primer. on yours did you shorten the rear bomper? it looks as if you did?

    I didn't shorten the bumper, but you're right, that camera angle makes it look like I did. It still has the filler trim on the side though, which makes it hard to see. I've been contemplating picking up another set of the bumper shocks/mounts to shorten and see if I like the look of it or not. I'm also running 5x5 15" big car rims for another slight difference.

    My car was an actual silver for about 15 years before it went primer, and some day it'll be silver again! =P

    mine was factory white. i thought about taking the bumber off. and do a lil cutting and welding and shorten it. be cheaper anyways. our rims look the same too =p. but mine just has a 350. i know someone with a 383 stroker for 500 that im thinking of trading my motor and tranny for ;)
